 Books\n\nOther speakers to be announced\n\nSolidarity Statements / Film 
 Clips / More\n\nThe Islamic Republic of Iran has responded to righteous 
 mass rebellion and protest with a brutal wave of arrests, torture, and 
 executions targeting human rights and women's activists, dissident 
 intellectuals and artists, protestors and revolutionaries.\n\nThis vicious 
 repression has been met with courageous resistance, including from within 
 Iran’s dungeons, and a global movement to free Iran’s political 
 prisoners. But the lives of hundreds now incarcerated remain in mortal 
 danger.\n\nHear from global activists from the International Emergency 
 Campaign to Free Iran's Political Prisoners who will discuss the latest 
 developments in the regime’s brutal crackdown and the resistance, 
 including the powerful full-page ad in the Summer issue of the New York 
 Review of Books, endorsed by over 2,700 people including Cornel West, Noam 
 Chomsky, Gloria Steinem, Ariel Dorfman, Jody Williams, Dan Ellsberg, Judith 
 Butler and many other prominent voices. The September 25th program will 
 discuss how to carry forward the worldwide struggle to free Iran’s 
 political prisoners and its importance for humanity.\n\nThe governments of 
 the U.S. and Iran act from their national interests. And, in this instance, 
 we the people of the U.S. and Iran, along with the people of the world, 
 have OUR shared interests, as part of getting to a better world: to unite 
 to defend the political prisoners of Iran. In the U.S., we have a special 
 responsibility to unite very broadly against this vile repression by the 
 IRI, and to actively oppose any war moves by the U.S. government that would 
 bring even more unbearable suffering to the people of Iran.\n     --   From 
 the International Emergency Appeal\n\nStand in solidarity. Oppose U.S. 
 threats and intervention.\n\n*Masks and social distancing required to 
 attend the event at Rev Books Berkeley.*\n\nInternational Emergency
